New England Patriots veteran WR has a bone to pick with the offense

New England Patriots veteran WR Jakobi Meyers admits that the transition from one style of offense to the other has caused the team to struggle!

Thursday night, prior to the preseason game against the New York Giants, veteran New England Patriots’ WR Jakobi Meyers had a bone to pick with the offense. There have been several reports surfacing that the Patriots offense has struggled in training camp thus far.

The biggest standout is that Patriots’ HC Bill Belichick has yet to declare the offensive coordinator. As of late, the Patriots don’t have an OC and it appears former Detroit Lions’ HC Matt Patricia is taking the offensive playcalling responsibilities. This can play out poorly for the second-year QB Mac Jones, however, this can simply be growing pains as well.

To the Patriots’ offensive unit’s defense, they are attempting to learn an entirely new system on the fly. Understanding this concept, the art of offense and chemistry is built over time. Meaning, this can take longer than expected until the offense is as crisp, efficient, and precise as many are used to.

One can never run from the process, instead, one must embrace the process and adapt accordingly. As the patriots attempt to get on the same page, the team’s leading WR, Meyers, has some strong words about the transition. After practice, Meyers spoke with NFL Network reporters Mike Giardi and Scot Pioli, who stressed how important it is that the offense get their egos in check and play the way they need to in order to be successful.

The transcript of the interview was captured by NESN’s Zack Cox:

Jakobi Meyer’s brutal honesty different from the New England Patriots’ way

Many questioned why Meyers was being so transparent, especially understanding that’s not seen as normal from the Patriots organization. The majority of the interviews that come from Patriot players are pretty “vanilla” and saying something without entailing much into the organization. However, it’s been pretty evident that any reporters have tweeted and vocalized the dysfunction of the Patriots’ offense early in training camp.

Aside from the rookie WR Tyquan Thornton, there hasn’t been much upside or takeaways from training camp. Fox First Thing’s First reporter Chris Broussard expressed his concern for the Patriots’ offenses going forward under Patricia. While he believes the Patriots will figure it out, eventually, for now, he believes they will continue to struggle
